It wasn’t Sunday breakfast, and we can’t even pretend it was brunch; we had our first meal of the day somewhere between the hours when decent folks have their lunches and dinners. Maybe that’s why I ended up putting so much into it. While the meal looks fairly straightforward in the picture, at least by my …

breakfast-lunch: eggs, bacon, and all kinds of other things
I try to bring some variety to my basic Sunday breakfast-lunch foumula of eggs, bacon, and toast. This time I may have brought more to the table than ever before. there were 6 eggs and 2 slices of thick bacon from Millport Dairy Farm; toast from 2 different bakers, ‘8 Grain 3 Seed’ bread from Rock Hill …
green eggs and ham (bacon, here), and an absent father
I thought of my father as we sat down to breakfast today. Although his given names were Clarence Henry, everyone outside of his huge family, which knew him as Clarence, called him ‘Wags’. He loved bacon and eggs, generally preferring them raw, whipped and sprinkled with salt and pepper (at least at home). He had grown up on …
eggs and, ..watercress, no toast; the music of André Caplet
Joyeuses Pâques! It was easter morning, and our first music of the day was French. I would be serving a roast later, so I skipped the bacon part of our bacon and eggs, substituting some juicy lightly dressed red cress from Dave Harris’s Max Creek Hatchery. The eggs themselves, from Millport Dairy Farm, enjoyed a scattering of …
vertical bacon & eggs + toast/tomato/leek/aleppo/chives
Sunday, April 5, early afternoon. Okay, it wasn’t Eggs Benedict, but it was foolproof, even first thing in the morning, fun to assemble, and delicious. It was also efficient in its use of both kitchen materials and ingredients, in the way Ellen Swallow Richards, 19th-century chemist and the founder of Home Economics, might approve. The layers …
spaghetti, quail eggs: un po ‘come spaghetti alla carbonara
The eggs were beautiful, and they were much larger than quail eggs usually are (they were all double yolk, from young layers, considered good fortune in some cultures, including mine). I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but as soon as I spotted them I knew that I was ready …
bacon, eggs, 17 other ingredients (not including ‘Rienzi’)
Lots of things going on here. We had bacon and eggs early Sunday afternoon, as we usually do. Also as we usually do, we invited a lot of things to join us. In fact there were so many things, and they all jumped onto the table so fast, I’m not sure I can give an …
breakfast and lunch, one plate, explaining the maximalism
The eggs themselves were minimal, but it got a little busy with the tomato-salad-salumi-mix. Also, it was both breakfast and lunch, so I figured adding a second cured meat wasn’t totally out of order (actually the few slices of a small saucisson were there because there was so little of it, and because I couldn’t …
fried eggs with a salsa in lieu of a profusion of condiments
I wanted to minimize the number of condiments and constituents I’d put into this meal, so I decided I’d try to get most of them together in small cups, to be placed on the table where we could each reach for them as we wanted. It only occurred to me after I had started to …
3-herb, 3-chilis, 6 [fried] egg-‘omelette’, bacon and tomato
(I turned the plate 90° clockwise after the photo) I know it looks maximal, especially after the last few Sunday lunches, when I’d been reducing the number of things I’ve been tossing into our breakfast/lunch plates, but I guess I got carried away with the current bounty of the kitchen’s larder. Once we had sat …
